More than two decades after Darrell Cannon was tortured into a false confession of murder, he was finally released from prison with hardly an apology. He wasn’t the only one with a story to tell.

Award-winning author Natalie Y. Moore reveals the fight for justice and reparations engineered by Chicago’s Black People Against Police Torture movement. More than one hundred African Americans were brutalized by Chicago Police Department Commander Jon Burge’s sadistic, state-sanctioned “interrogation” ring that operated within the department for decades. The racist CPD cover-up had no chance against the appalling evidence leveled by survivors. In this landmark hearing, “sorry” wasn’t going to cut it.

Natalie Y. Moore’s Payback is part of Southside, a collection of five true stories about racism and reform, crime and corruption, justice and injustice in Chicago - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning team at The Marshall Project. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

****
The killing of George Floyd has been a watershed moment for the United States of America. Only time will tell if such an outpouring will produce any lasting results and changes but it does seem that more and more people are becoming more aware of the vast inequities that exist within American society. This Audible original is one such example. An innocent man suffered a brutal miscarriage of justice and when the crime and corruption were exposed leading to his release, barely anything was done. On top of that, the apology was barely enough. It certainly wasn't for me! A very well produced story, short but sweet, and in spite of the outrageous subject matter, ends on a hopeful note.

I really loved how information this book was and the narrator encapsulated emotion and perspective which was great. Highly recommend this to everyone. I think this is important for every American to read so that they can understand the horrors that are embedded into our history as Americans.

Love this book

This was a good read, I wanted more context. I never knew about the horrid things police officers were doing in Chicago, but it is a sad long truth. I look forward to reading the other short stories in the series. I have 5 of them.

Good short read, but I wanted more.
